Thanks a lot Mattrick.
You have given me good feedback regarding Nara. They are actually going to give me a room upstairs overlooking the pool.
Regarding the waitresses you said you were tempted to ask one out. Did you manage to do it, or were you left with the temtation. Ha. Ha.
I had a look at their web site and they have some real cuties working there. I have also read some reports regarding barfining is a bit of a no no in AC.
I wonder how strict it is. But I believe there is more than one way to skin a cat IMHO. I am still thinking about the cuties at Nara.
Most propably I will be visiting AC, the last week in February.
Thanks once again and have a wonderfull day.

[QUOTE=Mattrick]Stayed at the Narra a few times since it is away from Fields and is fairly quiet. Don't let them stick you in one of the four units in the basement, as they tried one time with me. Otherwise it is a decent place to stay with a friendly staff.
There is a business center with internet onsite. Also a branch of their travel agency. Safety deposit boxes located behind the desk and are secure. Shaggers bar is a large open air thatched roof structure accross the street and is open 24/7. It is the focal point where you can rub elbows with Aussies and others and get primed while watching a sporting event before you head out to Fields. The food is good with large servings of stick-to-your-ribs type dinners perfect before a night of drinking. Was tempted to ask one of the cute waitresses out!
They have two spiffy trikes to wisk you to Fields or wherever else you want to go within reason, free of charge. Just tip the driver early on and he will look out for you. He will give you his cell number so you can call him once you are ready to be picked up on Fields, as late as 2:00 am.
One time I was waiting for a trike to return and this old timer Aussie tells me, "No need to go to Fields because there are a few bars down the street". Needless to say, I never checked out these places even though there were usually a couple of women hanging out in front.
Since you can get a discount, I would try the Narra for at least one night. If you don't like it, you can always transfer next door to the Koala or the Patio down the street.
Have a good trip![/QUOTE]
